Nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, which primarily originate from the biological nitrogen removal process, dominate the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). N2O production occurs through dynamic microbial pathways that have a significant impact on the environment compared with other GHG emissions. Reducing these substantial emissions aligns with the objectives of

As society’s electricity demands increase, technical solutions and advancements are essential to meet energy needs. Solar energy is a promising source, and solar cells enable the conversion of sunlight into electricity. This study is in collaboration with Midsummer AB, a Swedish company that specializes in sustainable solar cells. The company employs a sputtering process for manufacturing these ce

Bakgrund Människor som drabbats av stroke eller traumatiska hjärnskador (TBI) får ofta balanssvårigheter som kan påverka aktivitet och delaktighet negativt. Mini-Balance Evaluation Systems Test (Mini-BESTest) är ett mätinstrument som kan användas för att utvärdera balansförmågan, men dess reliabilitet och validitet är inte helt klarlagt efter stroke och TBI. Syfte Syftet med studien var att under

Due to rising concerns about climate change, launching plant-based portion pack beverages is one opportunity to address this issue. Embracing this opportunity of value creation, requires a business model innovation. The purpose of this study is to improve the understanding of how companies in the food industry develop a new customer value proposition with business model innovation, and how this ca

With warming in soils due to climate change, a series of secondary factors arise, which have multifaceted effects on soil microbial communities. Of these, alterations to soil moisture are among the most crucial to understanding how microbial functions will change in the face of climate change. As living organisms, microbes must adapt to their environment, and their adaptations are reflected in the

Wood is increasingly being recognized as one of the most promising building materials on the market as a result of environmental challenges. Aside from the fact that wood is a sustainable material, it has the benefit of being high-quality, strong, flexible, and speedy to construct, which makes it a much more attractive material compared to its less sustainable counterpart. The latest computational

Försäkringsbolag behöver identifiera och hantera en stor mängd potentiellt bedrägliga försäkringsanspråk från deras kunder. Därför har försäkringsbolag en rad system för att försöka identifiera vilka anspråk som är bedrägliga och vilka som inte är det. Med den senaste utvecklingen inom maskininlärning och särskilt inom området för språkbehandling (NLP) kan dessa tekniker eventuellt användas för atMachine-Learning can sometimes see things we as humans can not. In this thesis we evaluated three different Natural Language Procces-techniques: BERT, word2vec and linguistic analysis (UDPipe), on their performance in detecting insurance fraud based on transcribed audio from phone calls (referred to as audio data) and written text (referred to as text-form data), related to insurance claims. We al

There exists a need for inertial navigation systems within a multitude of applications, such as drones, unmanned vehicles, and guidance systems. Saab produces gyroscopes for stabilization purposes, but the gyroscopes could also be used as part of an inertial navigation system. This thesis investigate the viability of using the hardware and software that Saab already uses, with the addition of acce

The aim of this study was to examine the experiences and thoughts of health care social workers regarding working according to standardized care processes in child and adolescent mental health care (Barn- och Ungdomspsykiatrin). The research questions concerned what challenges and opportunities standardized care processes bring and how it affect the health care social workers professional role and

Järnvägsindustrin spelar en avgörande roll på den globala marknaden för godstransporter och passagerarmobilitet, och ger ett effektivt och lågemitterande transportmedel. För att konkurrera med andra transportmedel måste järnvägen dock förbättra sin tillförlitlighet. Frekventa inspektions- och underhållsarbeten är avgörande för att säkerställa säkerheten och effektiviteten i järnvägsverksamheten. DThe railway industry plays a crucial role in the global freight transport and passenger mobility market, providing an efficient and low-emitting mode of transportation. However, to compete with other modes of transportation, the railway must improve its reliability. Frequent inspection and maintenance work are essential for ensuring the reliability, safety, and efficiency of railway operations. Th

Today's company strategy should include sustainability as a key component. There, however, exists uncertainty regarding the implementation of corporate sustainability strategies. Previous research has explored the role of consulting firms in shaping sustainability practices, but there has been a lack of investigation into how these firms implement their sustainability strategies. This study ai

Tidigare forskning belyser hur viktiga säljarna har blivit för den fysiska butiken när retailbranschen står i en omställning. Samtidigt lyfts befattningsosäkerhet som något som har inverkan på säljarnas motivation inför arbetet och i sin tur även deras prestationer. Ett forskningsgap identifierades då nuvarande forskning av befattningsosäkerhet i stor utsträckning utgjordes av kvantitativa enkäter

This paper examines the relationship between inflation, inequality, and political power. The author argues that the redistributive effect of the inflation tax is a product of four channels: real wages, the balance sheet, debt and fiscal policy. The role of elite bias in politics, and its effect on inflation combating measures is also investigated. One interesting finding is that inflation had a re

Byggindustrin står inför nya utmaningar i form av skärpta krav när det gäller dess klimatpåverkan. En betydande faktor för byggindustrins klimatpåverkan är den cement som används i betong, eftersom det i samband med tillverkning av cement frigörs stora mängder koldioxid. Platta på mark är en vanlig typ av grundläggning i byggnader i mindre skala, såsom småhus. En typisk småhusplatta av betong ha

In this thesis, entropy conservative and entropy stable finite volume methods for one-dimensional scalar conservation laws are studied. The need for weak solutions is shown and entropy is explored to obtain uniqueness. Using discrete analogues of properties of entropy solutions, entropy stable finite volume methods are constructed and implemented to solve a number of scalar conservation laws, in p

Escherichia coli (E. coli) can cause disease in both humans and animals. For poultry, avian pathogenic E. coli (APEC) is a common problem. Even birds living in apparently healthy flocks die from infections caused by E. coli. To help increase the health of poultry a new aerosol vaccine formulation based on outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) from E. coli was evaluated using ELISA to compare the amount o
